Seasonal water assignment market

Seasonal water assignments (sometimes called 'temporary trades') are useful for meeting additional short-term water needs. The holder of a water entitlement may apply to assign some or all of the water that may be taken under that entitlement in a water year, to another person or to themselves (i.e. another entitlement they hold).

There is no limit to the number of assignments of unused water that can be made in any water year. Also, any unused part of the assigned water can be reassigned during the remainder of the water year. A water year, which sometimes coincides with the financial year, is the annual accounting period for a water management protocol, operations manual, or water licence, as provided in the Water Regulation 2016.

A water plan, water management protocol, operations manual and the Water Regulation 2016 set out the rules applying to seasonal water assignments. Both supplemented and unsupplemented water can be seasonally assigned but different processes apply.

To assist customers with business planning and in managing risk, the Queensland Government publishes information about unsupplemented seasonal water assignments (temporary trades). This information is published daily (on approval of trades) and includes information about volumes, locations and prices of unsupplemented seasonal water assignments. This data provides a valuable tool for market monitoring.

• View unsupplemented seasonal water assignments (temporary trades) .

Supplemented water supply

Supplemented water refers to water delivered from infrastructure. A water supply scheme owner is granted a licence depending on whether they own the storage or distribution infrastructure. A resource operations licence (ROL) is granted to owners of head works infrastructure such as dams and weirs. A distribution operations licence (DOL) is granted to the owner of any diversion infrastructure used to further distribute water, such as pipes to an off-stream channel, if they are not owned by the ROL holder.

A supplemented water allocation holder wishing to arrange a seasonal water assignment requires the consent of the ROL holder in every case. For water allocations that are also distributed by a DOL holder, the seasonal water assignment rules in an operations manual will state when the consent of the DOL holder is also required. The Department of Regional Development, Manufacturing and Water has no involvement in managing or approving these temporary trades.

Unsupplemented water supply

Unsupplemented water is surface water or ground water that is not reliant on infrastructure to store or distribute water. However, this water is still sustainably managed by the department. As unsupplemented water supply is highly variable throughout Queensland, a seasonal water assignment can only be undertaken in areas where a water plan, water management plan or water sharing rules contained in the Water Regulation 2016 allows for it to occur. When applying for a seasonal water assignment, applicants should read the relevant rules and liaise with their local business centre to arrange the assignment.

The holder of an unsupplemented water allocation, a water licence or a seasonal water assignment notice or water licence may apply for a seasonal water assignment. The process involves:

• confirming that a seasonal assignment is allowed under the water management protocol, operations manual or water sharing rules
• checking that sufficient water is available (i.e. unused portion of the entitlement)
• W2F020 – Application for a seasonal water assignment of an unsupplemented water allocation (PDF, 155KB)
• W2F016 – Application for seasonal water assignment of a licence (PDF, 318KB) .

The department will notify the assignor (water entitlement holder) of the decision. If the seasonal water assignment is approved, the assignor will be notified that the assigned water has been debited from their account for the remainder of the water year.

The assignee will be issued a seasonal water assignment notice, allowing them to take the additional water assigned to them for the remainder of the water year. The assignee can also reassign any unused portion of the assigned water in that same water year. If the assignee has been issued such notice and the original water entitlement is subsequently sold, the assignee's authority to take the water assigned will not be affected in any way.

7 Tips to Find Seasonal Adventure Jobs with Housing

Seasonal Adventure Jobs Are a Simple Way to Get Paid to Travel

A little known (but much loved) method of long-term travel is seasonal work. While the term “seasonal work” is pretty broad, there is a specific subcategory of seasonal work that includes room and board as benefits. For anyone who doesn’t have a luxury budget, getting a seasonal job is a fantastically straightforward way to live and work in beautiful places that tourists pay through the nose to visit.

What sort of places provide housing for seasonal employees?

The “seasonal” part of seasonal adventure jobs is usually determined by when the tourists flood in. For resorts and wilderness lodges, this may mean a lush green summer season on a lake and into the cozy colors of fall. For ski resorts, it of course means the snowy days of winter.

Most types of companies in the tourism industry are fair game. Job opportunities run the gamut from standard hotel and resort operations (housekeeping, food and beverage, front desk, retail) to adventure guide jobs (white water rafting, ski and snowboard instructors, zipline guides, backcountry camping, etc.) and everything in between.

Meal plans are less common than housing options, though when they are offered they can be quite tasty and often healthy and varied. Many companies will serve their employees three hot meals per day, and many more have staff discounts on dining options. When these aren’t available, there are usually individual or shared kitchens where staff can prepare their own meals.

Search Travel Job Board Sites for Adventure Jobs with Housing

There are a few sites to find seasonal adventure jobs with room and board.

• 1. WanderJobs This travel job board only allows companies to post if A. They pay their employees (many “jobs” on similar sites are unpaid volunteer positions, work-exchange, or even pay-to-work) B. Provide staff housing
• 2. BackdoorJobs This site specifically posts adventure jobs, though the selection is a bit more limited.
• 3. Find more resources for seasonal work in the post: How to Travel for Free: Resources for Seasonal Jobs with Housing

Find Adventure Jobs that Job Boards Don’t Advertise

Not all seasonal jobs will be posted on one of the listed job boards. In fact, most of them won’t be. After years of searching, living, and traveling in the seasonal work community, I’ve come up with a few pro tips to find these hidden job opportunities.

• 4. Choose a location first. Your online search will be much more effective if you use a specific place name. For example, “summer jobs in Alaska with housing” is already a much stronger search term than “summer jobs with housing”.
• 5. Choose the type of adventure job. Keywords like “ski resort”, “retreat center”, “summer camp”, etc., will improve your search dramatically. “Wilderness lodge” is a particularly good search term, because these lodges are remote and far from towns, so they usually offer employee housing.
• 6. Use varied versions of the term room and board. Try “staff housing”, “employee housing”, etc., to get different search results.
• 7. Find out if a company owns other properties. Often times larger companies in the tourism industry own operations in multiple locations, sometimes even worldwide. If a company website is extremely professional and expensive looking, click around to see if they are part of a larger operation. For example, Forever Resorts operates Signal Mountain Lodge, a consistent staff favorite in Grand Teton National Park, but also has properties in the Grand Canyon, Lake Mead, Big Bend, Bryce Canyon, and a handful of other locations.

Enjoy the Adventure

Working a seasonal adventure job and living in a tight-knit employee community is an incredible way to have new experiences and grow as a person. It’s a bit like a college, but with an older age group and more nature-oriented activities. You’ll find yourself having hiking adventures, beach days, and fireside chats with other colorful people who will be your lifelong friends.

THE SEASONAL ROUND

For New Year, we would cook cabbage. Some people would cook black-eyed peas. That way, you would always have money for the year. And we had to have our egg nog. That was one tradition waiting for the New Year to come in. And when the New Year would come in, Daddy would take his gun and let us shoot a few rounds to bring in the New Year.                                                                     –Grace Populas, St. John Parish, Louisiana

Introduction and Background for Educators Asked to picture the year, you might think of a wall calendar. Envision instead the months of a year as a wheel, a seasonal round that the folklorist Jack Santino illustrates in his book All Around the Year (University of Illinois Press, 1994). What customs fall where? How do the weather and landscape change? What relationship do holidays have to the seasonal round? How do seasonal changes affect the daily life, culture, art, history, and economy of a community? What can students learn about themselves, their families, their region, and the world by examining the seasonal round?

Consider holidays. Many have ancient roots; others are quite contemporary; some are religious, others are secular; and some combine elements of the sacred and the secular. For example, Mardi Gras has an old, complex history and traditions sacred and secular that span continents. President Woodrow Wilson made Mother’s Day official in 1914, and Maulana Karenga created Kwanzaa in 1966. Presidents’ Day and Martin Luther King Day honor national heroes. Labor Day was founded in 1882 to heal rifts between labor unions and the federal government.

Some holidays, “movable feasts” on liturgical calendars, change annually according to lunar phases or because different religious groups follow different calendars. Examples include Easter, Passover, and Ramadan. Other holidays fall on the same date each year: December 25 or July 4. Still others fall on particular days, for example, Memorial Day is the last Monday in May. Personal holidays such as birthdays or anniversaries fall randomly on the seasonal round.

In addition to holidays and special events, seasonal changes affect our work, recreation, foodways, beliefs, customs, even our worldviews. Students see how seasons change the landscape, but they may not have considered how other aspects of their lives and the life of their community change according to the season. Working individually or in teams, students may investigate many aspects of seasonal change. Some students may be interested in science and geography, while others are curious about seasonal customs.

As your class moves through the school year, you will also be moving through a seasonal round. Integrate this concept into your curriculum, noting the often overlooked changes that affect our lives in many ways at work, at play, in everyday life, in celebrations and rituals-and in school. You might start the school year with this unit to get to know your students. Even for many adults, a new school year announces a sense of purpose, a chance to start anew. The smell of freshly sharpened pencils and the anticipation of seeing friends after summer break are deeply embedded in many adults’ memories.

Purpose of the Unit The seasonal round provides a point of inquiry for students to examine in any subject area and can culminate in many projects, from developing weather graphs to choreographing a round dance. Students are introduced to the concept of the seasonal round, how traditions vary from season to season, and how the seasonal round contributes to the uniqueness of a place and a community. They first chart birthdays and dates of personal interest on seasonal round calendars and research birthday traditions. Then students identify important seasonal traditions in the life of their families. Finally, students research community celebrations and how seasonal changes affect their own lives and the culture of their community.

Time Required Variable, at least 2-5 class periods

Materials Seasonal Round Worksheets: crayons, colored pencils, or markers

Seasonal Round Collages: cardboard pizza rounds or paper plates, string, scissors, glue or glue sticks, and items to glue such as old greeting cards, junk drawer odds and ends, feathers, magazines, tourism brochures, fabric scraps, photos of local events, etc. Cut string into 12-inch lengths.

If your students will be doing interviews, they may need digital cameras, recorders, or notepads and pencils. Practice interviews in class and use the Local Learning Tools: Interview Basics and Release Form.

Assessment 1. Seasonal Round Worksheets 2. Birthday Calendars and Birthday Traditions book or exhibit 3. Personal Seasonal Round Calendars 4. Seasonal Round Collages 5. Community Seasonal Round Calendar 6. Interview notes, photos, recordings 7. Poetry, essays, graphs, etc.

Send a letter home letting families and caregivers know the class will be studying the seasonal round, including celebrations and holidays as well as weather, recreation, customs, foodways, occupations, and so on. Some people do not celebrate certain holidays, so be prepared to offer students alternative activities such as researching, writing about, and documenting landscape and weather changes or work and business cycles throughout the seasonal round. Their work can illustrate a large class calendar and other projects. Talk with students’ parents to determine a suitable alternative assignment.

• Activity 1 Birthday Calendars and Traditions Print and copy a Seasonal Round Worksheet for each student and yourself. If you are going to create a class chart of birthdays, print out and label an extra copy. You may enlarge it on a copier or design and decorate a large wheel to hang in the classroom. Inventory what you know about birthday traditions. Many children in the U.S. have similar parties, which vary more by age group than other factors, but students may have unique family customs that differ. Even recent immigrant students figure out birthday party protocol quickly, employing popular culture character themes, cake, candles, wishes, ice cream, treat bags, and the “Happy Birthday” song.
• Activity 2 Personal Seasonal Round Calendars Print and copy a Seasonal Round Worksheet for each student and yourself. Gather information to help students research important school and community dates. Think of dates important to your own seasonal round. How do you mark seasonal changes in large and subtle ways? If making Seasonal Round Collages, students will need collage supplies (see Materials). If making a Class Seasonal Round Calendar, enlarge it on a copier or design and decorate a large wheel to hang in the classroom.
• Activity 3 Community Seasonal Round Calendar Gather books, brochures, almanacs, and other resources to help students research regional seasons and customs. Determine how thoroughly you want students to investigate. Decide whether students should work on all phases of research or divide into teams to identify important dates for the school, community, state, and nation. Students could conduct interviews among workers in outdoor occupations, hunters and fishermen, cooks, craftspeople, celebration organizers, friends, and family members. They could limit work to collecting sayings and beliefs, or they could conduct more extensive research in books, on the Internet, and through fieldwork and interviews. This activity lends itself well to collaborative group work.

Activity 1: Birthday Calendars and Traditions Give students copies of the Seasonal Round Worksheet. Ask them to indicate the current month by marking a large “X” inside the circle. Then ask them to mark a small “x” on the circumference of the circle to indicate where they think the day of the month would fall. Students should compare results and as a class reach consensus on where to put the “x.” Then ask students to write their full birth dates in the correct month, for example, 7/23/04.

Create a large class chart and mark all the students’ and the teacher’s birthdays, using initials and a small drawing or sticker. As a class, analyze the data. In which quadrant do most birthdays fall? Which month? Do more boys or girls have birthdays in certain months? What conclusions can they draw from the data they have collected? For example, “Because 6 boys and 2 girls have birthdays in March, I can tell that more boys have birthdays in March.” Students can create different categories to calculate, noting how many students have party themes, for example.

Technology Option Students may use software to create charts or graphs of birthdays broken down by months, days, gender.

Use this as an opportunity to study birthday traditions among students and their families. First, ask students to describe a birthday party, in a class discussion. Appoint a scribe to take notes. Then assign students to interview adults about childhood birthday traditions, perhaps choosing a specific birthday such as their 10th. Students can compile results in a classroom “Birthday Traditions” exhibit or book including interviews, drawings, photos, artifacts, foods, and games.

Extensions Ask students to take their calendars home to add birthdays for family members, pets, and friends. Students may compare results in small groups or as a class and add the data to their charts.

Invite an older adult to class to teach a birthday party game from childhood such as Drop the Handkerchief or Button, Button.

Use Venn diagrams to compare and contrast birthday celebrations of different ages or cultural groups.

Research the “Happy Birthday” song and how it became traditional.

Activity 2: Personal Seasonal Round Calendars Have a class discussion about seasons and holidays to introduce an assignment for students to create personal seasonal round calendars. How do seasons influence students’ lives? Which holidays are related to religious beliefs, which honor the state or nation, and which are unique to a community? What holidays combine religious and secular customs? How does commerce enter into holidays? How do popular culture media such as TV, radio, or the Internet portray holidays? How do these portrayals compare with how students actually celebrate holidays?

Have students use blank Seasonal Round Worksheets to draft Personal Seasonal Round Calendars with dates of personal significance, including interests such as sports, hobbies, family customs, and school and community events. Students should take home their drafts to use in interviews with family members and share their findings in class. Are any holidays specific to a family or community? How does each family celebrate holidays uniquely? After adding data from family interviews to their draft calendar worksheets, students may decorate a fresh copy of the worksheet using colored pencils, markers, and crayons to illustrate their Personal Seasonal Round Calendar. They may also make Seasonal Round Collages on cardboard pizza rounds or paper plates.

Hang decorated Seasonal Round Calendars or Collages in a classroom exhibit and ask students to tell the story of their seasonal rounds to the class.

Collage Directions (See Materials) Use cardboard pizza rounds or paper plates as the base. Before decorating, punch two holes about an inch apart in the center of the round. Run a 12-inch piece of string through the holes so the ends exit in the back. Tie the string at the top and tape the string to the back of the round near the edge to keep it from flopping forward. Have students use glue sticks or paste to secure items such as fabric scraps, magazines, old greeting cards, etc., to tell their Seasonal Round stories. They may choose a favorite season or celebration or the whole year.

Extensions Invite another teacher, a parent, or a community member to class for students to interview about a calendar tradition.

Music is very important to celebrations and is part of the seasonal soundscape. Brainstorm seasonal songs. Then ask students to research and share music important to their seasonal traditions and the holidays of others.

Combine students’ seasonal events and traditions to make a big class seasonal round calendar to hang in the classroom.

Activity 3: Community Seasonal Rounds Brainstorm ways that students think seasonal change affects their lives and the community. What sounds differ, for example? Do they hear the chimes of an ice cream truck, school bus brakes, fire crackers, or mockingbirds? How does the landscape change? Do foods change? Add some topics from the list below if they don’t raise them. Ask students to choose some of these topics to research and discuss methods they could use: books, the Internet, talking to each other, talking informally to family members and neighbors, conducting an interview project, or inviting someone to class to interview about how seasons influence their work or foodways, for example.

Seasonal Round Topics Agricultural activities Play, recreation, hobbies, and sports Celebrations, festivals, and other seasonal gatherings and events Seasonal customs Religious practices and beliefs Occupations Landscape and land use Gardens Geography, ecology, and environment Music and soundscapes Foodways Clothing Traditional crafts and decorative arts Weather sayings and beliefs

If you want students to work in groups, designate group members and let each group choose a topic and decide which research methods to use. Groups can determine how to present their findings. They might write poetry or essays, produce a skit, make graphs, choreograph a round dance, or create web pages or podcasts.

Construct a large Community Seasonal Round Calendar to hang in the classroom. Students should reach consensus on what to add to the calendar as they conduct their research. When completed, hang the calendar in the school library, cafeteria, or other common space to share with the school community. Students can also share what they have learned in a presentation to explain how the seasonal round influences community life.

Extensions What changes in the landscape mark seasonal change? Staking out a backyard garden or preparing fields for planting? The appearance of vegetable stands? Home decorations? Repairing boats in dry dock? Students can illustrate community landscapes that reflect the seasonal round for a classroom exhibit.

Invite people whose work changes seasonally for students to interview in class. Students should share their Community Seasonal Round Calendar with guests. Consider business owners, farmers, gardeners, florists, elected officials.

Ask a dance instructor to work with students to choreograph a round dance about the Community Seasonal Round.

Research and design a large seasonal round calendar depicting major holidays of cultures around the world. Do holidays cluster around particular months or seasons, for example, the solstice or equinox?

Compare and contrast the seasonal round of places in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.

Make Community Seasonal Round Calendars in different languages and for different cultural groups.

Ask students for examples of beliefs about the weather: “Red sky at night, sailor’s delight,” or “A ring around the moon means rain will come soon.” Farmers, fishermen, and gardeners still rely on folk beliefs about weather and make predictions based on natural observations. Ask students to collect such beliefs and predictions from older people. They may also conduct research in almanacs. They can make a weather lore chart, booklet, or web page.

If your students will be doing interviews, they may need digital cameras, recorders, or notepads and pencils. Practice interviews in class and use the Local Learning Tools Interview Basics and Release Form .
